Prosocial behavior is an indispensable behavior in human social life and plays an important role in successful social interaction and peer acceptance. As the first place to promote children's social development, the environment created by family influences the occurrence and development of children's prosocial behavior. At present, studies on the mechanism of marital satisfaction on children's prosocial behavior generally involve only one or two variables of family system theory, and most of them take father or mother as a single independent individual to conduct mechanism analysis, which is unable to explore the mechanism more comprehensively. Based on this, the researchers carried out this study.Objective: 1. To explore the direct predictive effect of marital satisfaction on children's prosocial behavior; 2. Explore the host-object interdependence effect between marital satisfaction and co-parenting, the host-object interdependence effect between marital satisfaction and parent-child relationship; 3. Explore the mediating effects of coparenting and parent-child relationship on marital satisfaction and prosocial behavior of the couple and whether there is a difference between father and mother in the path.Methods: the study based on the theory of family system, including two child research, two research are paired data research, collecting data from both sides of husband and wife: in study 1, the demographic questionnaire, children's empathy and social response scale, marital satisfaction scale, cooperative breeding scale questionnaire survey was conducted on 426 children of both parents; In study 2, the parents of 526 young children were surveyed by demographic questionnaire, child empathy and prosocial response Scale, marriage satisfaction Scale, and parent-child relationship Scale.Results: Study 1: There was a positive correlation between marital satisfaction and children's prosocial behavior. Father's marital satisfaction predicted children's prosocial behavior more than mother's. The predictive effect of marital satisfaction on co-parenting support is mainly the object effect, and the predictive effect of marital satisfaction on non-coparenting support are both significant. Father's marital satisfaction affects children's prosocial behavior through two significant mediating pathways: father support coparenting and mother support coparenting. Mother's marital satisfaction affected children's prosocial behavior through two significant mediating pathways: father supporting coparenting and father not supporting coparenting. Study 2: The predictive effects of marital satisfaction on parent-child intimacy and conflict were mainly subject effects. Father's marital satisfaction affects children's prosocial behavior through the mediation effect of father-son intimacy, while mother's marital satisfaction affects children's prosocial behavior through the mediation effect of mother-son intimacy.Conclusion: 1. The effect of father's marital satisfaction on children's prosocial behavior is greater than that of mother. 2. The predictive effect of marital satisfaction on supportive coparenting is mainly reflected in the object effect; The predictive effect of marital satisfaction on unsupportive coparenting was significant. The predictive effect of marital satisfaction on parent-child intimacy and parent-child conflict is mainly reflected in the subjective effect. Whether it is coparenting or parent-child relationship, the role of father is more dependent on the relationship than that of mother. 3. Father's marital satisfaction can influence children's prosocial behavior through the full mediating effect of mother's support for co-parenting, father's support for coparenting, and father and son intimacy; Mother's marital satisfaction affected children's prosocial behavior through the full mediating effect of father supporting coparenting, father not supporting coparenting and mother-child intimacy. Parent-child conflict has no mediating effect between marital satisfaction and children's prosocial behavior.
